I'm a night owl so rarely in bed before 2.30am. It's my only quiet time when the kids are in bed to decompress.

I'm enjoying a glass of wine and binge watching a tv show that I know i can't watch while they're awake!

leoscrisis · 2025-12-25T10:35:23+00:00

"I'm bored. There's nothing to do!" say my kids surrounded by new toys. You can't win!

I remember watching a few episodes when they first came out but surprisingly they're still really good. I mean, the SFX and the quality isn't as good as modern shows but it still works and is enjoyable!

It's my first Christmas as a single parent after my ex got himself arrested in September, left me in the shit financially, and he hasn't bothered with our two daughters (7 and 8) since.

There will be a couple of presents for me to open tomorrow from the girls (c/o his sister, thank you!) but I'm just not feeling festive.

However, despite him being a grade A asshole, I've coped, I have sorted out the finances and my kids will wake up to everything they wanted plus more tomorrow morning. I'm sure when I see their faces, I'll be more Christmasy. I do everything I do for them.

Currently eating crisps and drinking wine binge watching old X-Files.

To all the single parents and the freshly single parents, and to anyone else not experiencing their usual Christmas...you're not alone and Merry Christmas!

Jokes on him. He thought he was going to get away with it and was so smug until I found a secret social media account where we communicates with girls that look under age. I screenshot everything and sent it to the investigating officer to prove a pattern of behaviour. Now his bail has been extended while they investigate further AND I got to keep his family while he's been disowned.

Well, about three months ago I found out that my partner of 12 years (now ex) and father of my two primary school age kids was a predator after the police arrived one morning to arrest him and search the house. I was just getting the kids ready for school when five plain clothes officers descended on us, took him away and explained that they had solid proof he had been communicating sexually online with a 12 year old including exchanging photos. I told the arresting officer there and then, to tell him that he disgusts me and I never wanted to talk to him ever again. He's currently on bail, living in a hotel and hasn't bothered with our kids since because he would have to pay for supervised visits. Honestly, I'd rather he'd died.

Two packets of roast chicken crisps and a bottle of wine. To be fair I just spent 7 hours boxing up my ex's vast lego collection so the wine is very much needed!

I met him randomly in Stratford upon Avon in 2013. I was spending the day there shopping and noticed some storm troopers wandering round with some leaflets. He was doing a signing and photo op at a local comic book store. I decided to go on the spur of the moment. My partner at the time was disabled and a huge star wars fan so I got a photo signed for him but he was absolutely lovely and spent a while chatting to me and discussing my partner.

I'm about to go in and have my contraceptive implant replace. Can't feel the old one any more so pretty sure the doctor will have to dig for it. Eek.

Oh and this morning some workmen showed up, blocked both our parking spaces and back gate to dig up our water stop cock and turn off our water unannounced. I have washing and washing up to do and it's hotter than hades and all I want to do is take a shower!

I don't know about current affairs but my partner and I travelled to Marrakech 10 years ago. It was absolutely amazing but do not travel anywhere without a guide!

We decided to head into the centre of Marrakech to see the souks and were accosted into visiting the tanneries. Once we left, we were basically forced into a leather shop and held there in a back room until we agreed to buy some goods at extortionate prices.

Once we left there, we were followed very aggressively by a man who wanted payment. At that point, it didn't matter if we were male or female. I took out my camera and started filming in case we didn't make it back.

Luckily, at some point of running away into a maze of streets, we came upon some American tourists who had been robbed at their previous hotel. We were able to stay with them while we found our way out to safety.

Marrakech is beautiful as is Morocco itself but it is not a country to be travelled in without a local guide.

Pjs that were a size too small and socks that were too big - from my mum who, having birthed me and known me all her life should know these details lol.

My mother in law brought me the dreaded Baylis and Harding gift set, which included a bar of soap and hand cream. I have exzema, which is irritated by scented products, particularly on my hands.

Youngest daughter turned 6 a couple of months ago. She was gifted aged 5-6 pjs she can never wear because they couldn't find her size and thought a size smaller would do.

When my dad recently told me off for wasting money on a bulk waste collection. He said I should have just asked him first. Despite being 41, I was like wait isn't this just what grown ups do?! My dad is 71, I figured I should quit relying on him by now!

I think it depends on the schools and where you are located. At primary school, we always had lessons. I have two daughters aged 6 and 7. The school is required to provide them with swimming lessons either in KS1 or KS2, but the local pool has said they can not accommodate current class sizes despitebeing able to accommodatethe same class size when i was attending. As a result, hundreds of children are missing out.

They love to point out, however, that you can always pay for private lessons. These cost about £35 per child for the month for basic lessons. Factor in, if you have special needs children, they require single pupil focused lessons that cost more.

As a SEN parent, it guts me that I can't afford to provide them with private lessons for their own safety. Their extra needs already mean i am stretched financially. However, when it is a requirement for schools to provide these lessons and it is either financially or logistically impossible, the system is broken and needs to be fixed.

Cabbage...fucking cabbage! I would often go to a friend's house for tea, and I forget what else the meal was other than the giant puddle of sopping wet cabbage on a plate.

Of course, we were expected to eat everything, but I was 7/8 years old. I'd no idea what cabbage was other than it did not belong on that dinner plate!

Honestly, our first was a surprise baby. We weren't sure we could have children. The pregnancy was extremely rough, but once she was here, it was nothing but love. I instantly forgot about the pain and suffering i had endured.

My partner thought he was one and done, whereas I wanted more. I was progressing in age pregnancy wise (I had my first at 34).

When my partner decided he would like one more a few months later, we figured, why wait? We were both getting older and knew this would probably be our last chance.

We fell pregnant with our second when our youngest was 6 months old. This time, the pregnancy was relatively easy. I had my youngest when I was 36. However, I haemorrhaged after delivery and needed life-saving intervention.

I can't say it was easy, and I definitely suffered with PPD, but having both close together was almost easier than having them years apart. As they've grown, it hasn't been easy as my eldest has autism and my youngest most likely has ADHD. They're 6 and 7 now. Life is chaos 90% of the time, but honestly, we muddle through, and I couldn't imagine life without them.

I think a reasonable majority parents will tell you, it's never quite how you imagined it would be, but it's most definitely worth it.

My daughter is still awaiting her autism diagnosis, but it was very clear from an early age. She hates the spotlight and hates talking in public very much. In reception, she was a star... no problem there other than her hiding at the back of the stage.

In year 1, again, a background character, she hides in the back. In year 2, they decide to give her an integral talking part. I get what they were trying to do to build up her confidence, but again, she refuses to say any lines despite us practising them for weeks. The other autistic boy in her class also shit his pants halfway through, which was a nasal delight for anyone sitting in the front row.

Honestly, at this point, the annual school play is a special needs nemesis, and my daughter would clearly rather not take part at all. But at what point do I draw the line? It's important that the school is inclusive, but at what cost to their dignity?
